Any ideas what bike model this came out of? It came with a few spare bits and pieces thrown in with a bike I bought a while ago. Angle of the lobes suggests a camshaft for some type of twin perhaps? Have never come across anything like it before.
Okay, looks generally similar to this sort of setup. https://thekneeslider.com/drysdale-godzilla-v-twin/ Just interested for my own curiosity, before I consign it to the recycling bin.
Ok, looks to be from a Howard rotary hoe engine, either an 8 or 12 HP model V twin. Made from the late 1920's to the early 1950's. Put it on Gumtree/ebay as people are looking for these bits.
Well there you go . Thank you people. There may well be a better use for it than a paper weight or scrap!
